Easter Baskets

Posted

The girls each got a new skort and a paperback book in their Easter baskets this morning — along with their body weight in chocolate. 

Tonight, as we sit down to crack the spines on the new books, our eldest asks, “How does the Easter bunny know our sizes?”

“Yeah,” her younger sister chimes in, “or what kind of books we’re into?”

Pause, pause, while I think, This is it. We’re busted. 

Their stares are decidedly skeptical.

But then, lo and behold, before I get the chance to put my foot in my mouth, elder daughter says, “You told him, didn’t you?”

“Yep, she told him,” confirms her sister.

And that is that.

    I had no idea you and the Easter Bunny were so tight. He’s your peep, right? (ouch, bad joke. Couldn’t resist, though).

    Great story!

    Yeesh, 20,000 comments sorry, just ’cause I forgot to put my name on the first one. Guess I didn’t hit “stop” in enough time. Oh well, cheers!

    Love this. I thought we were going to get busted this year too, but either the girls are too smart to let us know they caught on, or we’ll get to squeak by another year.

    Glad your girls had a great Easter!

    This year I thought we were busted too when our 7 year old asked why the things from Santa were made in China. Hmmm. No reply. None needed I guess, he just went on his merry way. Never doubting for a minute.
